Hi Gang,
I have attached a frame grab of Saturn from last night, I have a few questions about it which I hope will help me improve my imaging results.
If you look at the image, there seems to be a'flare' on the top half of the planet that I could not seem to get rid of. My set-up was as follows;
LX200 with UHTC
LU075C (Raw Mode)
Seeing conditions good.
Questions; am I doing something 'wrong' to cause the 'flare' or does the scope need to be collimated more accurately, is it dust on the front plate. Or, is it atmospherics and something I should not be worried about it and just imporve results via practice?
Any input apprechiated, you won't hurt my feelings!
Thanks,
Paul
